'Real World: Portland' cast member has area connections

By Ann Dwyer

MTV's The Real World: Portland features a former Ann Arbor resident in its cast.

Averey Tressler mentioned on last week's show that she used to live in Ann Arbor. She briefly mentioned having worked at Briarwood, and she apparently met her ex-boyfriend at a bar in Ypsilanti.

She is from Tecumseh and graduated from Britton High School.

Apparently, Averey's tumultuous family situation caused her to quit college and move from Michigan to the dry heat of Arizona. She came on "The Real World" without having watched it, which makes me feel validated that I didn't even realize the show was still on.

Because she is not near any family, Averey brought her little dog Daisy with her. While it would be easy to joke that at least someone will leave the show with their dignity intact, little Daisy has already been filmed doing her business on camera.

The Real World: Portland airs Weds. at 10 p.m. on MTV.

"The Real World" may still be on, but it's over, and has been for a while now. At this point, it seems like a nostalgic placeholder for MTV.

MTV just canceled Buckwild so there hope that Real World: Ypsilanti could be a replacement

Too bad it's not Real World: Portlandia, then I'd watch.

That reminds me that I still need to try the Brinery's kimchi.
